succession, which not only gave us preliminary information for A2 Biology but expanded our knowledge above and beyond the syllabus. Our learning did not stop there, as we later ventured out frequently to conduct field work on the sand dunes and in the wildflower meadows.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Twenty-five boys from Years 7 to 9 accepted the challenge to create an environment where the audience member was transported into a world of magic, mystery, comedy and love. The boys have worked diligently on the production since May, rehearsing through one of the busiest periods of the year and all their dedication paid off with two hugely successful sell-out performances. Audiences left the studio after being thoroughly entertained, some even participated with the fairies dancing. It was an amazing experience for the boys from start to finish and it is hoped that they continue to enjoy participating in Tiffin productions.

Despite the almost incessant rain, this did not dampen our spirits. The trip provided a great opportunity for us to get to know our fellow students better and to consolidate our collective interests in biology. I would commend it to anybody with an aspiration to study biology or related subjects at university in the future. Thank you to all the staff at Orielton field centre and the teachers who organised this at Tiffin, whose hard work and commitment made this trip possible for us. Report by Will Shorrocks Y12
